5 more days until I come home.
L’esprit de escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means “the spirit of the staircase.”

Actually I’m not exactly sure how many people in my Hong Kong friend circle are left because it keeps increasing and decreasing at random. Sometimes due to other members travelling, sometimes to new people joining up. Such as Tim’s local friends from HK like Sam and Brian and then they invite their friends to come spend time with us too.
So now Sharon Chen is leaving tomorrow morning to go to Shanghai before she heads home to the States. I’m the next one slated to leave on August 2nd so I only have what I think to be nine days left here. Things are definitely starting to feel bittersweet.
Unfortunately I can’t update my tumblr as often as I’d like in Tokyo as there is only one LAN cable per room and I’m sharing with my cousin. Not to mention that the connection is rather horrid and keeps cutting out in the middle of a photo upload.
I’ll keep trying to update every day but if not, a photo spam session when I get back to Hong Kong will occur.
